Message from Tr. Nancy

Dear Parents, 
Assalamu Alaikum

It just seems like yesterday when we were all getting ready to greet the students on the first day of school. Now, June is just around the corner. Time has flown by, subhanAllah!

Please take note that the school library will be closing its student services starting Monday, June 2, 2014. For this reason, we would ask that all the students bring back their library book(s) no later than Friday, May 30, 2014. Please remind your child to bring his or her library book(s) before the deadline.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Have a wonderful day, inshaAllah.
Sincerely,

Nancy-Ann Brethour,

New Math Unit

Assalamu Alaykom wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh dear parents,

We've launched a new math unit today; Multiplication, Division, and Fractions.
In this unit, your child will build on number patterns to develop concepts of multiplication, division, and fractions, working with concrete materials.

The Learning Goals for this unit are to

  • learn about multiplication as counting groups of objects.
  • understand that repeated addition, skip counting, and multiplication are the same.
  • learn about division through grouping and sharing.
  • understand the meaning of halves, thirds, and fourths.
  • connect multiplying, dividing, and fractions to daily experiences with making equal groups and sharing.

New Math Unit

Assalaamy alaykom wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh,

Today we've started a new math unit: 2-D Geometry and Patterning.
In this unit, your child will be learning more about 2-D geometric figures, symmetry, and patterns.
The learning goals for this unit are to:

  • Describe, sort, and compare 2-D figures according to the number of sides and number of vertices (corners).
  • Recognize figures that have symmetry, or matching parts.
  • Make patterns using materials and pictures of 2-D figures.
  • use positional language to describe movement and location: slide to the left, turn, above, beside.
Jazakom Allah khairan,
Tr. Hajer
